Space Punks – Spotlight
At a glance Space Punks looks like a mix between Borderlands & Diablo – and if that description appeals to you, then Space Punks will not disappoint. Currently still in Early Access on the Epic Games Store, Space Punks is a top down action RPG with vibrant visuals, that you can play with up to 3 other players.
Given the early access nature of the game, it’s not exactly overflowing with content, but there’s enough there right now for you to know if the game is for you. And if the flashy visuals and the tight combat encounters don’t hook you in, then I assume not much coming down the road will.
Pros:
Looks and plays great
Good weapon variety
Neat blend of looter shooter and ARPG elements
Cons:
Lacks content
Minor QOL issues
About:
Space Punks is a wild rollercoaster you’ll not want to end. Fly solo or gang up with up to three misfits to take on challenging missions in a bombastic campaign. Harness plunder from missions to upgrade your arsenal and become the ultimate galactic badass.
And swords. And grenades. And assorted gadgets that really are very good at making things go BOOM. There’s an awful lot of ass asking to be kicked across the galaxy, and luckily you’ve got the boots, the tools and the appropriately agitative personality traits needed to do the kicking.
Space is a noisy place (metaphorically – it’s actually a deadly, soundless vacuum) so if you’re gonna make yourself (metaphorically) heard, you’ve gotta be the (metaphorical) loudest. Blast more, earn more, loot more – big guns and big cash energy means even bigger (literal) galactic renown for your rambunctious rebel crew as you (literally) plunder planet after planet after planet.
More scoundrels in your squad equals more guns, and more guns means more stuff getting smoked, plus an all-round pleasingly higher level of general carnage. The bigger the explosions, the greater the fame and fortune – that’s just how things are out there in the interstellar community! With trigger-happy misfits covering your back, you’re going places, kid.
